摘要: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence pestivirus antibodies in sheep and goats India. A total 2803 serum samples collected between 2004 2008 from 1777 92 flocks 1026 63 belonging 13 states were tested by competition ELISA for detection antibodies. In sheep, true rate 23.4% (95% confidence interval: 22.9%–27.0%) it 16.9% CI: 16.4%–21.3%). flock level seroprevalence 66.3% 54.0% goats. Geographical variation individual highly significant. significant association (p 2 year age groups both Cross neutralization studies on 61 seropositive 34 goat representing all positive flocks, exhibited > four fold higher titre bovine viral diarrhoea virus type 1 (BVDV-1) 41 23 BVDV-2 one each. This first time showed serological evidence wide spread BVDV infections Indian goats, with BVDV-1 predominating occasionally besides highlighting potential risk infection other species, which needs be considered whenever BVD control measures are initiated.
